Be it known that I, EMMI COURT, a citizen of the United States, residingat Lakota, in the county of Nelson and State of North Dakota, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Combination-Tools, ofwhich the following is a specification. I

My present invention relates to combina-' tion tools, and consists inthe improvement of a convenient tool which is simple, strong anddurable, and is capable of being put to many uses.

- The primary object of my invention is to provide such a toolembodyingupon a single member, a drill, a wrench,.a pipe Wrench, a pair ofcalipers, a hatchet, a hammer, a soldering tool, a marker, and in factmany other household necessities too-numerous'to mention.

A further object of my invention is to insure a rigid connection of thetools with the shank, and at'the same time to enable the convenientassemblage and detachment thereof without requiring any complicatedadjustment of the parts.

aving these and other objects of general utility and design in View, Ihave illustrated a preferred embodiment of my invention in theaccompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is an assembled elevation of mycombination tool;

'that the shank 15 is I Similar reference characters refer respec tivelyto similar parts throughout the several views.

My tool comprises a rectangular shank or bar 15 (Fig. 9) one end 15 ofwhich is provided with a plurality of spaced apertures 16, 1'7 and 18;the other end terminates in a stationary serrated jaw 19, having anaperture 20 adjacent the base thereof for the reception of a pin topivotally support a movable jaw to be hereinafter described.

Tools such as a hammer 21, hatchet 22, or wrench jaw 23, are fastenedtothe bar 15 by means of a suitable bolt 24, passing therethrough asshown. A bracket may be rigidly secured to the shank at 18, havingjournaled thereto a beveled gear 26 meshing with a driving gear 27,keyed to a threaded A wrench jaw 29 is slidably mounted upon the shank15 and has an aperture therethrough, through which spindle 28 passes,and a set-screw 30 extends into said aperture and engages the threads onthe spindle, so that as the spindle is rotated. the jaw 29 will bebrought to or separated from the aw 23. v

When it is desired to assemble a drill, the bracket 25 is slidablymounted on the shank, the spindle 28 brought through an aperture in thejaw 23, and a drill chuck 31 mounted thereon (Figs. k7).

A toothed jaw 32 coacting with the jaw 19, may be pivoted at 20 for theassembling of a plier or pipe wrench, and caliper arms 33-33 may bemounted on the outer ends of these jaws 19 and 32, as shown in Fig. 1,an adjusting screw 34 passing through the respective jaws.

A marker 35 may be secured to the jaw 19 in a similar manner; or asoldering iron 36 may be gripped between the jaws 32 and 19, as shown inFig. 14.

It will thus be apparent to those skilled in the art to which myinvention appertains, capable of carrying practically any character oftool, but for the sake of brevity I have shown and described only a fewspecific toolsf What I claim is In a tool of the character described, abar, a stationary tool part fixed at one end of said bar, a movable toolpart slidable on the bar, a bracketslidable on said bar behind themovable tool part, means to adjustably lock said bracket on the bar, anoperating member for said movable tool part carried by said bracket andmovable tool part, both as my own I have hereto aflixed my signaof saidtool parts being adapted to receive ture in the presence of twosubscribing Wit- 10 said. operating member therethrough, means nesses.for actuating said operating member, and
